The concept of electronic transmutation (ET) depicts the processes that by acquiring an extra electron, an element with the atomic number Z begins to have properties that were known to only belong to its neighboring element with the atomic number Z+1. Based on ET, copious new compounds equipped with novel chemical bonding both in the gas phase and in the solid state can now be designed and synthesized.
